I'm curious, what kinds of projects is devRant working on right now? What's your most recent project, personal or interesting, that you've picked up recently?

Mine is a program that automates schoolwork for you.

@oudalally Woah, that's really cool! Out of curiosity, why would people want to buy old cameras? Aren't newer cameras better?

A programmable guitar pedal

@oudalally I'll be using an arduino probably, currently it's in the planning stage, there's a lot to do 😅

@oudalally and your project sounds really cool too, I didn't realise old cameras were still relevant, but I think they look cool

Working with a project that I will announce shortly, we need some alpha tester

I'm working on an AI system that plays the game of Pai Sho from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I wanted to work on some AI stuff and I figured chess and go where done to death, but the only computer program you can play Pai Sho against is made by Nickolodeon and it totally sucks.

@Linux What kind of job would the alpha tester be undertaking?

Linux workstation provisioning system using a yaml config file stored in your dotfiles. I'm hopeing that it will encourage testing different linux distros since it should lower the setup time of linux systems

the last thing I stared doing is a full chart converter from one game to another

it's hard

Last project: started learning the Red language and trying to create a Snake game with it (I create a Snake game with almost every language I learn) (https://github.com/iAmGio/snake.red)

Last serious project: an editor for Minecraft configurations (https://github.com/iAmGio/chorus)

@PerfectAsshole kind of like what NixOS does?

@RememberMe nope. It's like boxen in alot of ways. It's the missing piece after kickstart/preseed in alot of cases

Redesign of our page, worked on it for months but only now and then.

A project thats compiles HTML and CSS from raw python.

@TheOct0
Just being a user. And report problems

@Holyfield3000 Sounds intriguing, is it in a state where you can show people?

@Linux Well I could do that if you still need one. If you're in dire need of someone, I'm here ^^

Compiler for a functional language wih the goal of looking as mathy as possible

f : |R -> |R
f(x) = x ^ 2

@TheOct0

I'll invite everyone here on devrant in the coming weeks

@host127001 you can already come pretty close with Haskell or Idris

And they avoid () in function notation because it's much more useful for denoting tuples.

@RememberMe i know. It's inspired by Haskell. But I don't want automatic currying, another typesystem and overall diferent synax.

@host127001 I see. But even in Haskell you can avoid currying if you use a tuple as the argument to a function. Then it looks pretty natural and math-y.

Also, suggestion, you can use TemplateHaskell to make a domain specific language that looks the way you want it to, but is actually just plain old Haskell code underneath. It's great for doing this kind of stuff.

But eh, anyway. What are you using to build the compiler? LLVM?

@RememberMe i don't want a DSL in Haskell. I am not sure yet if I want LLVM for the backend. I want to start with as few dependecies as possible, so I think the first iteration won't use LLVM

@GMR516 it's in a private repo, what's your github?

@Linux Be sure to tag me so that I don't miss your post then

@TheOct0
If I remember!

@Linux Maybe I'll just subscribe to you then

@Holyfield3000 Oh, it’s alright then. :)

Although my Github username is my devRant username.

I'll show you sample code later @GMR516 👌

@Holyfield3000 👍🏿

@GMR516. I tried emailing you from your portfolio site (dope site btw), didnt work.

@Holyfield3000 Nah, it's alright, I got it. Thank you. The php doesn't throw a success yet because it's still in progress. XD I got like 8 of the same email. Thank you!

@GMR516 lmfaooo my bad

@Holyfield3000 Of course there’s no worries, everyone who sends me a message through my website I get about 5 copies of because they mash the button. ;)

It’s moving up on my todo list.
